Very disappointing - most of the hot food was stone cold with the exception of one small pasty - the falafels were like pieces of rock - small plateful of food which could have been bought from Tescos ie onion rings and breaded jalapenos cost £6.00 - dips were nice, but no bread or anything to mop these up - a rip off will not be returning

Best Veggie Restaurant I've ever been. Good selection of food, fresh and clean. Tomorrow is my Bday and I'm going to eat there.

Don't be fooled by negative reviews. Compared to other vegetarian/vegan restaurant in London (we are not in Switzerland, sorry) the food is cheap: you can fill your plate with 10 pounds (and I assure you that is more than enough). And the quality is much better than any other buffet in the area: fresh, uncomplicated food, with a nice variety, and any dietary info is clearly indicated on the label (vegetarian, vegan, eggs, nuts, etc.). The plus is that you don't need to book, since the venue is so big, and you can bring as many friends you like. No fuss.

We had vegetarian meetup with more than 30 people. You add a nice decor, soft music (not the loud unbearable music of the Momo in front of it), relaxing atmosphere, good service.

It's a pleasure to stroll into this friendly, comfortable restaurant for lunch while shopping in Regent Street, or to take visitors to London for an evening meal.

Because it's totally vegetarian, it gives us confidence to eat any of the delicious hot or cold varieties, and for a central London site the prices are moderate.

We've always enjoyed our experiences here and now make it our No. 1 vegetarian venue in London. Highly recommended

Excellent. Went last bight and was my perfect idea of how a restaurant/eatery should be.

Choose your own, as much as you like and then sit and chat with a friend/lover while you eat it! Great.

Really liked the food quality, decor and all of it. I wish evey town/city had one.

Went last night and have to say that we both absolutely LOVED it!!

Everything was perfect - the locations, the comfy seats, the music...and the food was incredible!

They also have a huge selection of drinks, including some really yummy (and healthy) juices. If i was you I'd go there RIGHT NOW!!

After visting Tibits in Basel, Switzerland. I was delighted to discover it was opening in London. I suspected that the food quality could not be as good, but after visiting last weekend -I happy to say my suspicions were unfounded, the food was as good as in Switzerland. The staff were lovely and the decor is fun. It might seem a little expensive but the food quality is better than most veggie restaurants. Please support Tibits.

As an avid Tibits visitor in Switzerland I was pretty excited to see what the Tibits in London is all about. Ok, it looks nice - and pretty big. I dont want to know how much they paid for creating this location - and how much they have to pay now for it. :)I have to say, I was disappointed. Not by the looks, it looks like the tibits in Zurich or Winterthur. I was disappointed by the food!

While in Switzerland everything is really fresh and any of the offered goods is a revelation (Im talking of the veggie food you can take at the buffet) here it tasted a lot different.

Most of the food was not fresh (the bread I could have even have used as a plasterstone for rioting..), some of the food was really hard and crusted from laying too long in the heat. Awful! Compared to what is offered in Switzerland, I would say it was only 50% of the performance you see there. Staff was friendly and attentive (no problem when only about 10 guests are in).

I would recommend the tibits guys from switzerland to send a chef asap over to correct it. Otherwise, this place is history sooner than they will love it. And last thing, what is hip and cool in Switzerland must not be cool for London. The city offers in a lot of places (i.e. salad bars) more or less the same than you can get here. I wish you good luck, tibits for london, but maybe it would have been wiser to grow first big in Switzerland before getting adventurous abroad.

I don't quite understand all the negative reviews. I only had great times when I went to Tibits. I love their food. Especially the lentil dahl and the dried bean salad. I knew their food from Switzerland an was very excited to know that they would come to London. Now I am there all the time. However I also agree the prices are a bit steep but maybe that's what you have to pay to be in such a great location... Try the ginger Ice tea and lentil dahl it's fantastic...

'you pay to be in a great location'...????this is a back street on london not the top of the empire state.you are saying you pay for the nice wallpaper and not the food.obviously used to being conned and preferes style over content.the food is extremly poor and no one with any interest in good food or experience of cooking for themselves would ever like or want to eat the slope they peddle there.

I'm really shocked by all the bad user reviews for tibits. I've been a few times and it's not expensive and the food is really, really tasty. Are you all from rival restaurants or used to eating in all you can eat buffets? It's not Pizza Hut! I've recommended it to all of my friends and have been a couple of times for dinner and am going there for cocktails and desserts - try the titamisu and chocolate cream! - after work tomorrow.Don't listen to the negative reviews. Try it for yourself. It's my new alternative to Wagamama when I want a cheap meal that I don't have to wait ages for.

this is so not an alternative to wagamama, the food is vile and overpriced
what are these people on about, more money than sense!
the food is terrible I dont care how pretty the place looks, you cant make
up for a crap expensive meal with smart decor....

these people wouldnt know a decent meal if they ate one obviously,
there are so many bad reviews and I have to agree with everyone
of them. the place is rubbish. and if you are a vegan, which I am you wouldnt be at pizza hut either mate.

I went to Tibits with some friends for a few drinks and was very impressed by the place. The location is perfect, on Heddon St just off Regents St so it has a great atmosphere for after work drinks. The food we had was very tasty and there was such a wide variety I took my parents and sister there for lunch today.

The lunch choices reaffirmed my slightly foggy memory from a few weeks ago. There is no waiting or queueing and the atmosphere inside is cool - great decor and a chilled out feel. As an avid meat eater it is the first vegetarian restaurant I have been to but it wont be the last. There are lots of tasty dishes, all very fresh and individual but being able to try some of everything is a novelty. My absolute favourites are the jalepeno peppers in sour creme with a crispy coating. Tibits is a new concept and it works so well, high quality ingredients served with creativity and the feeling that you are eating healthily.

tibits is something a bit different for vegetarians. its got an interesting array of dishes to chose from, and if you chose your amounts carefully it won't be too expensive. the quality is good and the environment is chic and sophisticated, so i'll be going there again, and i'm not even a vegetarian.

nothing chic about this place, style over content.
cheap decor doesnt make up for the poor quality of food.
people that like this food obviously cannot cook and are greatful for what
they can get and will pay through the nose for it. very very poor indeed

their website guest book shows numerous 'thank yous' and 'great jobs'from supposed cutomers..... who are these people? they obviouslywandered onto the wrong page or got confused, they cant be talkingabout the same place. tibits is terrible, bad qaulity food, bad value,tacky decor. what about the place is worth signing a guest book I ask you?this place is terrible and it gives veggie places a bad name.no wonder my meat eater friends freak out when I ask them to go somewhere vegetarian, I reckon this place has put them off for life, its almost turned me back to big mac's and thats saying something.

this place has an issue with its prices.
at the end of the day its vegatables, I know how much they cost,
this place seems to think that they can get away with charging
15 quid for some potatoes and turnips. Dont even bother going there.
they cant cook em properly either.

I have to agree with the bad reviews. I am a vegan and I am not a great chef but I know my veg and how to cook them. Everything that should be cooked through was hard, like potatoes, who can eat a raw spud? Yuk. The cost is terrible too. My tub wasn't even filled and it cost me 17 pounds! Gasp!

Delicious, varied, wholesome and original vegetarian food - satisfying even to the staunch carnivore. Its either possible to take food away or eat in the attractively designed space. Staff are very helpful indeed. An excellent addition to the area!

i agree prices are a bit on the steep side but the food is good probably very much main land europe styled because a fruit curry is a bit strange.Less snacks and more dishes should make a difference.
